The Thistle Shoe Company
All shoes and boots offered on this page are hand crafted to the level of perfection and quaility you and I have come to expect from the World famous Scottish shoe company, A E Struthers of Glenrothes in Fife, Scotland. It is unfortunate there are no longer any local shoe manufacturers left and like many other brands we all know and trust, A E Struthers has been compelled to outsource the manufacturing outside of the UK for economic reasons. Those of you who already know the wonderful Thistle Brand Ghillie Brogue, know the exceptional high quality that A E Struthers expect and delivers. In a similar way, designers of the traditional Highland Buckle shoes have spared no detail to make a shoe of perfection and quality. The high degree of attention to detail and quality is applieed to all other shoes described on this page. A E Struthers has found a manufacturer to produce it to their satisfaction and as such, we know you will find the quality second to none!

Will your partner marry a Ghillie or a Prince? You decide!
These long-awaited and supreme quality shoes are made with High Quality leather uppers and stitched leather soles with slightly raised heels and tough nickelplate buckles, they reflect a design inspired by the shoes worn by Prince Charles Edward Stuart (‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’) and Lord George Murray, his Commander-In–Chief during the Jacobite uprising of 1745. As such, they represent ideal shoes matching Jacobean Outfits and look pretty smart with modern formal attire too.
The new range includes half sizes 5.5 to 12.5. The Highland Buckle Shoe is a supremely comfortable shoe designed to be as accurate and authentic as they are beautiful to look at.
